TEHRAN (Mehr News Agency) – MP Morteza Shirzadi, in a pre-debate speech in the Majlis, condemned the arrest of Hadi Soleimanpour, the former Iranian ambassador to Argentina and called on the Foreign Ministry to make serious efforts to obtain his release.

He told the Mehr News Agency that Britain has always proved unpredictable in its relations with Iran and expressed regret over the irrational British measure. He added that the Foreign Ministry should prove to Britain that the age of tyranny is over.

Shirzadi, an MP representing Qasr-e Shirin, said that Iran should have ties with other states that are in our national interests, stressing that the Foreign Ministry should place suspension of political and economic ties with the Argentine government on the agenda.
